  • There will likely never be another Oscars. Period. Ms Broccoli will have to give up on her dream. I am a player on the fringes of the industry and there is scuttlebutt that theatres will go under - how many stores do you know that survive on zero…
  • Given the facts it is clear that Mr Fukunaga’s resignation from the project is very much in order. Why argue this? If the project is completed as you say, why are so many of you opposed to the idea of Mr Fukunaga standing down?

  • This forum is a pathetic lineup of sycophants. “Thanks Contraband for posting some icredibly boring Instagram photos of a stuntman in a T shirt! Great detective work! And thanks for keeping this thread focused.” Demand better.
  • Glad to see you’re enjoying life. How’s that awesome new Bond movie? How’s that amazing teaser poster? What an awesome design! Got it up on your wall? Are those ancient Licence to Kill clips on the 007.com twitter feed keeping you hungry for more? “…
  • All right you are correct here - USED to understand the fan base. :) And like I said, out to lunch. Sidelined. Yesterday’s man. He is likely victim #1 when the fallout from NTTD hits and Universal starts calling for scalps. An easy mark to feed to t…
  • LALD crocodile escape without question. Exquisitely set up by Hamilton and paid off perfectly. Pure panache. Mallory wrote: » I always felt that Bond being a dick towards M throughout the vast majority of Spectre was completely out of character…
  • Proof that Eon are hall of fame bunglers? Just look on your Blu Ray shelf - are there any new Bond movies on it? I have a daughter starting school in a few months who wasn’t even alive when Spectre came out. I don’t understand the urge to defend …

  • It’s the responsibility of the director to know what they want and put the right people in place to deliver it. Guy Hamilton didn’t go back to the drawing board again and again to find new creative talent when things didn’t work out. He either made …

  • Here we see Mr. Big in diguise, wearing the mask. [/url] Here we see him in the mask with altered garb. [/url] Here we see him start to remove the mask in a fit of rage But here we see him all smiles as he removes the mask entirely.
  • LOVE this idea for a thread. Let's get back to the FILMS and stop arguing about production and business. Can someone post a screenshot of Mr Big's hideout? I recall it is very dark, sexy, and taboo. It delves into the taboo if I'm not mistaken. A…

  • It won’t be. The best Bond films aren’t cobbled together by script doctors two weeks before shooting starts. If anyone has any confidence in this product (I hesitate to call it a film) at this stage they’re in La La Land.
  • Please also recall that Mr Fukunaga tried to exit the project in early 2019, but “Dan had to have his man”, particularly after the Boyle fiasco, which most certainly should NOT have been allowed to happen. Fukunaga was basically forced to remain …
  • Look please into the production of IT Chapter 1 - Fukunaga was dumped at great expense from the film. The difference there is that Warner Bros brought in a workman to deliver the film on time and basically mop up Fukunaga’s mess. Universal gave E…

  • Mr Fukunaga bears sole responsibility for 1) the delay from Feb 2020 to April 2020 and 2) the hiring of friend Dan Romer, which wasted months and necessitated the last-minute and very expensive hiring of Hans Zimmer. Mr Fukunaga’s career is ver…

  • A lot of backseat business strategists in here claiming to know the secret machinations of some of world's most secretive businesses. They will have the most talented and deceptive consultants working on the fall out from Covid-19, and yet you claim…
  • NTTD is well and truly, "in the cooker" so to speak. EON and MGM to take a bath this one.
  • I am boiling with anger about the delay of NTTD, but, with this new movie from Chris Nolan, TENET, if this is released this quarter it changes the whole landscape. This movie, if successful, will become the new standard for all Bond films before and…
  • I am eagerly looking forward to TENET with eagerness and optimism. If TENENT proves to be a big blockbuster hit, well, Nolan is in line to be rewarded with a new role as director of Bond after TENET.
